Miss P’s Classic Boudoir Shoot | Houston Boudoir | Portrait by Chrissy

Today on the blog I am featuring the beautiful and fabulous Miss P. Miss P’s boudoir session is mostly classic boudoir but we did mix some modern boudoir styles in there with my signature movement and flowy posing and shots.

Miss P, a bride to be came to my Houston boudoir studio to create a beautiful boudoir album to gift to her fiancé. In fact, her idea was so brilliant I want to share it with you for your own engagement boudoir shoot if you’d like. Miss. P had the amazing plan to sneak her beautiful album into her fiancé’s overnight bag for his bachelor party as a sweet surprise. *Note to do this, you would definitely want to schedule your session a few months in advance as Miss P did if you are considering an album for your boudoir session to celebrate your marriage or anniversary to ensure arrival in time.

I love Miss. P’s shoot not just because of how beautiful Miss. P looks in her images but because of the energy she brought with her to her session which radiates in her images.

Miss. P, thank you so much for trusting me to photograph this moment in your life and thus making me a part of your big day. We at Portrait by Chrissy wish you all the love and all the best.

So without further ado let’s celebrate Miss. P and take a look at her beautiful boudoir gallery.

My Favorite Beauty Products Right Now

My first love is of course making beautiful portraiture for my clients. My second love is makeup and beauty products…we all have our vices lol. Ok, ok jokes aside taking care of your skin and body is important…especially for portraits. If you have unhealthy skin, it will show up in your portraits. If you have tired skin, it will show up in your portraits. If you have dehydrated skin, it will show up in your portraits. So I am going to start a new thing…I am going to start blogging beauty products I love to help you up your beauty game. Some days I may blog on skin care, some days I may blog on makeup, some days I may blog on hair care but today I am just going to start with staples in my own beauty and skin care routine. I am going to list 5 amazing products and why I love them. For more information on preparing for your portrait session please check out my Ultimate Portrait Guide for Modern Portraits or my Ultimate Boudoir Guide for Modern Boudoir Portraits. Let’s jump into…

Dr. Lipp

Portrait by Chrissy Houston Portrait and Boudoir Photographer Favorite Beauty Products Dr. Lipp

What it does

Dr. Lipp Tint lip balms are a spinoff of Dr. Lipp’s Original Nipple Balm. It actually works to heal your dry cracked lips and keep them soft and supple.

Why I love it

As a mom who nursed, I can testify to the power of lanolin based nipple balms. If they can quickly heal and moisturized cracked and bleeding nipples of nursing moms, imagine what this does to your lips. I love it because it doesn’t sit on top of your lips, it actually absorbs in there to work its magic. I have these stashed all over; my purse, my desk, my nightstand, my car, my living room. A little goes a long way and while these babies are small in size, they last. Apply in the morning for all day silky lips.

Where to snag it

I’ve been searching all over and sadly as of right now, it’s only available online order directly from Dr. Lipp’s Website.

2. M. Greengrass Dry Oil Spray

What it does

m. greengrass Dry Oil Spray is a mix of natural oils that you can spray into your hair, rub on your skin, and apply to your face for all day softness.

Why I love it

I use this every day and it I love it! Why? It dry’s quickly into my skin, smells so good, and lasts all day. I spray this all over my body after I get out of the shower. It feels amazing and did I mention it dry’s super fast? That’s right. No greasy or oily residue.

Where to snag it

3. Glow Recipe Moisturizers

What it does

Glow Recipe Moisturizer – moisturizes your face for day time glow and yummy watermelon smell.

Glow Recipe Face Mist- Hydration spray mist to apply after makeup application for a beautiful dewy look that smells like a yummy watermelon.

Glow Recipe Sleeping Mask- Hydrate your skin while sleeping at night for soft supple skin (did I mention smells like yummy watermelon?).

Why I love it

It feels so good going on, smells like a fresh cut ripe watermelon – BONUS, my skin feels amazing and radiates all day long. I love a dewy makeup look so after applying makeup I use the face mist to set my makeup and give my look a dewy look.

Where to snag it

4. Mario Badescu Facial Spray

What it does

What doesn’t it do? If you’ve been around me you’ve seen this spray in either cucumber or rose. It’s everywhere! At my bathroom sink, by my nightstand, in my studio, at my desk, in my purse, in my car, in my living room, and even in my fridge for a summer cool down mist.

Why I love it

It goes on cool and refreshing! You can do so much with this spray which is why it’s always in arms reach. I even keep one in the fridge for hot summer days when I want a quick cool down mist (tip – going to the beach? River? Camping? Toss one in your cooler for a quick refreshing cool off mist!) This spray will hydrate your face, cool you down, give you a dewy makeup look when applied after makeup application, AND I use this spray to dampen my beauty blenders before applying my foundation and, if I want a dramatic look from glitter pigments and shadows, I wet my makeup brush with this. If you’ve ever had a shoot with me, you’ve seen this fabulous product at my studio vanity!

Where to snag it

ULTA! I wait for them to put it on sale and snag a bunch for $2 each! I am not kidding when I say these bad boys are all over my home and always within arms reach.

5. Bite Beauty Agave+ Nighttime Vegan Lip Therapy

What it does

It’s a hydrating sleeping mask for your lips

Why I love it

I keep a jar next to my bed right next to the Glow Recipe Sleeping Mask from #3 as part of my bedtime beauty routine. It helps to keep my lips soft and supple while I sleep. I cannot stand dry, cracked, crusty lips. It’s part of my war chest along with Dr. Lipp from #1 above to keep my lips soft and hydrated!

Where to snag it

Miss. T’s Glamour Shoot

Miss T is stunning! I am super excited to show just some of her amazing images from her Modern Portrait and Glamour shoot.

The first gorgeous look is a beautiful red cocktail dress. Miss T. had this gorgeous dress in her closet and brought it along for her amazing shoot. If you look in your closet, you are sure to find something stunning for your wardrobe like Miss T did.

Portrait by Chrissy Houston Glamour Portrait Photographer

The next gorgeous look Miss T chose is a stunning dress consisting of a bodysuit with a lace gown overlay. The dress was purchased at Forever 21, and works beautifully for a Modern Glamour or Modern Boudoir shoot.

The final look from Miss T’s shoot with Portrait by Chrissy is a black cocktail dress with a thigh slit purchased at Fashion Nova.

My Favorite Beauty Tutorials

I have a secret…I spend a ridiculous amount of time watching YouTube Beauty Bloggers. Why? I dunno…I find the tutorials fascinating but I have learned so much from them. Below I will give you a list of my absolute favorite go to beauty gurus and why I love them.

Tati

Tati Westbrook isn’t one of my top favs, she is amazing at makeup and I am adding her because she is a mature beauty blogger and my client base is usually 35 up. Her videos are really long because she talks a lot and her voice is really monotone. I do find myself fast forwarding trying to get to the point or the makeup application.

2. Laura Lee

Laura Lee is a bit younger than Tati and her openings can be a bit long but she is not monotone like Tati and her tutorials are usually a lot faster to getting to the point.

3. Amy’s Makeup Box

Amy’s makeup box is a YouTuber I really like to watch however, she doesn’t stay consistent with eyeshadow pallets so replicating her gorgeous eyeshadows can be a challenge because she takes a color from one company and one from another and so on…

If you like bold, daring, and sexy eyes, Amy is your girl!

4. Jackie Aina

She’s a total goofball and you will laugh a lot watching her videos. Women of color don’t have enough representation in the beauty industry so if you are a woman of color you know how hard matching foundations and eyeshadows that pop can be on our skin. Jackie often sniffs out what works and what is failing… Also, Anastasia Beverly Hills is one of my top favorite beauty products. They gave Jackie her own pallet and it is a staple in my beauty routine.
